I guess politicians like that just exist. We had Ursula von der Leyen for that. She was big time into internet surveillance and censorship before proceeding to other endeavours, defence and then president of the european commission. Her list of controversies, shady contracts and deals and investigations is pretty long. So yeah, I’d say there’s likely something shady going on in the background with those people. But investigating them doesn’t seem to do anything, at least not in Germany. That just makes them become president of something or similar things.
